Headlight Replacement with Grill Guard Attached

I am looking to replace my headlights with some brighter LED bulbs, and I’ve seen plenty of videos on how to remove the front grill, but I have a Ranch Hand grill guard attached and the grill doesn’t seem to tilt far enough forward to disengage the clamps at the bottom of the truck’s grill. I am trying to see if anyone has successfully removed the truck grill without removing the grill guard. If so, any pointers? I really don’t want to remove the grill guard just to replace the headlight bulbs.

thanks in advance for any pointers.

If you're just replacing the bulbs, all you need to do is unscrew the plastic retainer at the back of the bulb (accessed through engine bay).
